Harrisburg Trap Club Spring Shoots

Korey Harlson                                          Brett Long, Cary Traynom, Jordan Harper               Brad Hulen, Garrett Grubbs

Harrisburg Trap Club has been the host for three registered shoots this spring.  Attendance averaged around thirty-seven shooters, mostly youth from Harrisburg, Pocahontas, and Brookland.  They are on teams preparing to compete in the Arkansas Youth Shooting Sports Program regional and state tournaments.  

The first shoot was held February 21 in horrible conditions.  It was very cold and rainy, however shooters endured and have some great experience under their belts for future competitions.  

The second shoot was held on Easter weekend.  The weather was much more cooperative for this shoot.  One of our Hornet Shooters, Cary Traynom, shot his first fifty straight during this shoot.  He will receive a special patch to award his accomplishment.

The third shoot was held the day before Mother's Day.  Shooters competed in 16-yard singles, handicap, and double events.  Aaron Speaks of Jonesboro shot his first twenty-five straight.  His teammates were planning to help him celebrate by shooting his cap.

Zirbel Takes High Over All in Florida State Shoot

Haden Zirbel claimed five event sub-junior titles and the High Over All Sub-Junior Championship at the Florida State Shoot held in Odessa, Florida on March 24-29.  Garrett Grubbs took home one event title while his brother, Daniel, captured the D Class High Over All title.  Brett Long also competed in the event.

One of the highlights of the trip was an added non-registered competition called "Miss and Out".  Shooters paid a fee and shot until they missed.  After every round shooters were backed up further away from the trap house.  The boys ended up shooting off the porch of the clubhouse!  None of them won the event, but they all had a great time.
